Not doing the pruning until winter but I figured I’d ask now.
I pruned right above a bud last winter expecting that bud to become the leader this year. That branch decided it was just going to grow almost straight out allowing the next bud down to become the central leader.
Is this going to be an issue further down the life cycle of this tree. Should I go ahead and prune that branch off down to the central leader.
